Exactly like a normal scramble; but after all four players tee off and pick the best drive, the person whose shot is chosen has to sit out the next stroke. You keep repeating this cycle for every shot leading up to the hole. Once your team reaches the green, the rule drops and all four players get to putt.
Each player's tee shot must be used at least three times over the round. Opposing teams track each other's drive usage as part of paired scoring. Fall short of the minimum and your team is disqualified from prize eligibility.
After 18 holes, the top three teams, plus any ties for third, head to a one-hole aggregate playoff on Hole 18. Still tied after that hole? A closest-to-the-pin shoot-off decides it, one shot per player.
Every team is randomly paired with another team and fills out that team's card; pairings can't be requested. Cards must be signed and reported at the scoring station before you leave the course. Unsigned or unverifiable cards are disqualified.
Collared shirts, no denim. You're representing the profession. Plus, you might be holding a $5,000 check by the end of the day.

Every player gets a cart and range balls for the round, 18 holes at Apple Tree, a BBQ buffet after play, entry to all four on-course contests, and a premium swag bag valued at $50+. A significant portion of your fee also goes to the LSAW Cascade Columbia Outreach Development Fund.
Not this year. The tournament is full-team only. If you're short a player or two, post in the LSAW Cascade Columbia members channel and we'll help you fill out a foursome before registration closes.
All four players tee off, the team picks the best shot, but whoever hit it sits out the next stroke. The remaining three play on until the ball reaches the green, where all four players may putt. It adds a layer of strategy and makes sure everyone's skills get tested.
Two safeguards. Paired Scoring: every team is randomly paired with another team, who fills out and turns in your card. Verified Cards: every scorecard must be signed by the pairing team, and unsigned or unverifiable cards are disqualified.
The top three teams, plus any ties for third, head to a one-hole aggregate playoff on Hole 18 right after your round. Still tied after that hole? A closest-to-the-pin shoot-off decides it: one shot per player, closest ball to the pin wins. The shoot-off location is set by the tournament committee that day.
Standard golf attire: collared shirts, no denim. You're representing the profession, and you might be holding a $5,000 check by the end of the day, so look sharp.

Absolutely. Register your team and pick any sponsorship tier, or sponsor on its own. We'll recognize your firm in the program either way.

You can move the ball up to one club length for a cleaner stance, but you can't move it out of a hazard, bunker, or rough if that's where the selected shot landed.
No. A player can't take extra shots in place of an absent teammate. The Florida-scramble rotation just continues among whoever's playing.
Yes. Apple Tree is open for practice the day before the tournament for $60 plus cart.
